Chicken Biscuit Pie
Description
This easy homemade pot pie combines cooked chicken, peas, carrots, and onion in a creamy chicken sauce. Top with spoonfuls of drop biscuit dough, or use premade refrigerated biscuits.
Ingredients
•
1/3 cup butter
•
1 onion, chopped
•
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
•
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
•
2/3 cup milk
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1 cup frozen green peas
•
1 cup frozen diced carrots
•
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken meat
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
•
3/4 teaspoon salt
•
5 tablespoons shortening
•
3/4 cup milk
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.
2
In a large saucepan, sauté chopped onion in butter. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium and cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Add frozen peas and carrots and cooked chicken. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
3
In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Stir in milk just until dough is moistened, then drop by spoonfuls onto chicken mixture.

Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown, and cooked on bottom. This tends to bubble over so I place a piece of aluminum foil under the pan to catch drips.
